Annual Meeting 

1914 



The fourth annual meeting of the Inter-State Board of the Perry's Victoi-y Centennial Com- 
missioners, composed of the Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States and 
the Governors of Ohio. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York. Rhode Island, 
Kentucky, Minnesota and Louisiana, charged by law with the responsil)ility of conducting a fit- 
ting celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie and the conclusion 
of one hundred years of peace between Great Britian and the United States and with the erection 
of the Perry's \'ictory and Internjitional Peace Memorial at Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island, Ohio, 
was held at Put-in-Bay, September loth, 1914, at 10 o'clock A. M. 

This pamphlet presents a synopsis of the most important business transacted, compiled from 
the records of the Inter-State Board, together with a brief statement of the facts relative to the 
work entrusted to the Commissioners. 

The laws enacted by Congress and all of the particijiating States provided for National and 
State celebrations of the one hundreth anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie and for the erection 
of a memorial. For these dual objects the National Government and the States of Ohio, Penn- 
.sylvania, Michigan. Illinois. Wisconsin. New York. Rhode Island and Kentucky made appropria- 
tions at various times prior to the centennial celebrations of 1913. The national celebration was 
held at Put-in-Bay Island during that summer, under the auspices of the Inter-State Board, but 
the .several .state celebrations were conducted under the auspices of the several .state commissions 
at appropriate points within such states and their expenses were borne from the funds aiipro]iri- 
ated by such states. The Inter-State Board was not concerned in such state celebrations and had 
no responsibility as to their finances, except that it provided for the cruise of the restored war.ship 
"Niagara," Commodore Perry's flagship in the battle of Lake Erie, to the principal ports of the 
Great Lakes, and otherwise exhibited its interest and contributed the support of ils organization 
to the success of all of the local celebrations. 

Aside from the National celebration at Put-in-Bay Island during the summer of 1913, the 
responsibilities of the Inter-State Board have been limited to the erection of the Perry's Victory 
and International Peace Memorial. Early in the history of the centennial-memorial movement, 
the Commisioners of the Inter-State Board conceived that a lasting memorial to the heroes of 1812 
and to international peace .should be the mo.st cherished object of their laliors. Accordingly, a 
competition of architects was held and the present design, by Me.ssrs. J. H. Freedlander and A. D. 
Seymour. Jr., of New York, selected, under the auspices of the National fine Arts Commi.ssion. 
Thereupon the Inter-State Board segregated from its funds available from all sources, the sum of 
$395,000 for the erection of the great Doric column of the design, which was declared to be in 
itself the Perry's Victory Memorial, and a contract for the erection of the column was entered 
into with Messrs. J. C. Robinson & Son. of New York, in the sum of $357,588. The difference 
between the latter amount and the sum .segregated was intended to provide Coi- architects' fees and 



all extras, and reports submitted to the Inter-State Board at the annual meeting, September 10th. 
1914, indicated that the cost of the memorial column would be well within the funds available for 
the completion of the contract. In addition thereto there were apparent resources of approxi- 
mately $144,000 for the completion of the central terrace of the memorial and the complete park- 
ing of the reservation of fourteen acres. 

On the morning of September 10th, prior to their annual session, the Commissioners visited 
the memorial. The exterior of the column was at that time practically completed, except for sur- 
mounting it with the gigantic bronze tripod and light contemplated in the design. The tripod, 
manufactured by the Gorham Company, of New York, at a cost of $13,000, was at that time 
finished and in cour.se of shipment to Put-in-Bay.

Report of Building Committee 

Piil-in-Bay, 0., September 10, 1914. 

To the Inter-State Board of the Perry's \'ictory Centennial Commissioners. 
Gentlemen : 

The Building Committee of the Inter-State Board respectfully submits the following report: 
The contract with Messrs. J. C. Robinson & Son, of New York, for the con.struction of the Doric 
column of the Perry Memorial, is in tlie sum of $357,588. To provide for the payment thereof, 
together with all extras, architects' fees, etc., the Inter-State Board segregated a fund of $:)95,000 
derived from national and state approiiriations. There has been paid on this contract to date the 
sum of $278,921.05, leaving the amount uniiaid and due on the completion of the column $78,666.95. 
Architects' fees have l)een paid as follows: 

March 14, 1912— 

To J. H. Freedlander, for services as architect in association with A. D. Sey- 
mour, Jr., in iiavment of one half of one per cent upon the proposed cost of 
the Memorial Building, in accordance with the terms of the Program of Com- 
petition (page 15) $ 3,000.00 

October 12, 1912— 

To three-fifths of total commission of six per cent ($21,455.28) on contract of 
$357,588, less $3,000 paid as above 9,873.17 

July 16, 1913, to July 10, 1914— 

Five subsequent payments of $1,000 each 5,000.00 

Total paid to date f ^J'rlo"^! 

Balance due on completion of the contract $ 3,582.11 

There has also been paid to Mr. C. E. Sudler, superintendent of construction, at a salary of 
$325.00 per month, the sum of $5,525.00, dating from April 1, 1913. 

As indicating the total cost of construction as comjiared with the amount .segregated, there- 
fore, we may recapitulate as follows: 

Paid on contract $278,921.05 

Due on contract '^^'f^'j*'- , ^ 

Paid architects .1 -o'^'l i 

Due architects ? 'ro-nn 

Paid superintendent of construction o,.j-u.OU 

Total paid and due on comjiletion of contract $384,568.28 

The latter figure, indicating a lialance of $10,431.72 of the segregated fund of $395,000 on 
the completion of the column, after paying all extras and fees, does not include the future compen- 
sation of the superintendent of construction, which will depend upon the term of his employment, 
nor does it include the traveling expenses of architects, already paid and to be paid; but it indi- 
cates a balance of approximately $9,000.00 

The report of the Auditor General on his examination of the accounts of the Treasurer Gen- 
eral when presented to this meeting, will indicate the funds available from all sources in excess 
of the amount segregated for the memorial, to which the said balance of approximately $9,000 may 
be added, and to be applied as the Inter-State Board may in future direct.

his audit of the books and accounts of the Treasurer General of the Inter-State Board, Hon. A. E. 
Sisson, of Pennsylvania, to July 26, 1914, stated that in preparing this report he had employed, by 
authority of the Executive Committee, the services of The Audit Company of Cleveland, expert 
accountiints, which had been verified by the Auditor General and Treasui-er General and is now

Analysis of Salary Account 

We found ail disbursements of the Commission covering this period, above mentioned, to be 
supported by vouchers properly receipted, and approved in accordance with the minutes of the 
Commission. All incomes were verified, api^rojjriations and jiayments from various states were 
traced to bank deposits and found properly accounted for. 

The Ohio State i)ayments on account of the Inter-State Commission were verified by the books 
of the Ohio Commission. We found some of the items had been carried through the books of 
Treasui-er General Sisson, others had not been entered to his records. We suggest that entries be 
made on the l)ooks of the Inter-State Commission for all items paid by the Ohio Commission for 
account of Inter-State aH"airs so that the Inter-State books may show a complete history of all 
transactions. 

Cancelled checks were inspected and all lialances on deposit with the various banks verified by 
statements and i)ass books. The warrant of the State of Kentucky, which is held by the Inter- 
State Commission drawing five per cent interest, was produced and inspected l)y our accountant. 

As shown by the attached exhibits, there has l)een received from the State and Government 
appropriations and miscellaneous sources .$4 KJ, 9 12.54. There are State ai)i)ropriati()ns due and 
unpaid ainounting to $135,279.9 1. There has been disbursed for construction of Memorial and 
Commission expen.ses $.'546,349. 2(). The Commission had on hand on July 26th in cash $100,563.28, 
and due from States $135,279.94, making the total resources of the Commission $235,843.22. 
There will lie expenditures necessary to complete the co.st of the Doric Column of $102,142.97. 
which will leave a balance available for other construction woi'k of $133,700.25. 

The books and records of Treasurer General Sisson were found to have been accurately kept, 
and his records in good condition. 

We acknowledge the courteous treatment accorded us by all officers of the Commission.
